North Face Stands Up to Hate Over Pride Gear, Drag Queen Ad [View all]
The North Face, a company specializing in clothing and supplies for camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities, is standing by its Pride participation despite right-wing criticism after it featured a drag queen in an online ad.
The ad for North Face’s “Summer of Pride” campaign features Pattie Gonia and debuted on Instagram Wednesday. “I’m a real-life homosexual,” the queen says in a video. “I’m here with the North Face to help you come out ... in nature with us.” They go on to show some of the company’s Pride Collection merchandise and note that North Face will host outdoorsy Pride events in Atlanta and Salt Lake City.
Congresswomen and far-right firebrands Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are among those calling for a boycott of North Face.
“Big name brands sexually targeting children makes me want to buy all generic brand clothing now,” Greene tweeted. “Besides.. we can save a fortune NOT wasting money on labels that are grooming our children.” In reality, there’s nothing sexual about the North Face campaign.

Boebert goes on in the article saying that North Face will get the Bud Lite and Target 'treatment'. This should be considered terrorism, not support of business and corporations.
